Understanding the needs of PPOs with alcohol misuse issues
Perpetuity is pleased to have been commissioned by South Bedfordshire Community Safety Partnership (in conjunction with Bedfordshire Police) to undertake an assessment of the needs of Prolific and Priority Offenders (PPOs) with alcohol misuse issues. The purpose of this small scale study is to obtain the views and experiences of PPOs with alcohol misuse issues and local professionals to better understand the needs of these offenders. The research has been designed to focus specifically on what treatment is currently offered, whether what is being offered is needed, and what should be offered.
If you would like to know more about this work, or other services offered by Perpetuity, please contact Perpetuity on 0116 222 5555 or prci@perpetuitygroup.com

Perpetuity develops gangs toolkit for schools
Perpetuity has been working with the NASUWT to explore the issue of gangs and schools, firstly to see if there is a problem to be managed, and secondly to scope out existing school and youth based interventions that are designed to tackle these issues. Phase 1 of the work is now complete. Copies of the report can be requested from prci@perpetuitygroup.com
Phase 2 of the research is now underway and the team are conducting a mapping exercise across the UK to learn more about existing interventions. We are keen to hear from anyone who runs or contributes to a school or youth based gang intervention project to find out what works, what doesn't work and recommendations that you or your organisation have to respond to these problems. Your input will help us to further develop our understanding of existing provisions to tackle gang culture and identify national and international good practice.
